Which CPU for rendering? AMD or Intel


Recommended Posts

I've just spent a fair amount of time looking at different procs for building a dedicated render farm with and I've decided on the dual core amd opterons. They are brand new and are certainly the fastest, and might already have the most "bang for buck" value as well.

My research also shows the multi core opterons are the best bang for the buck. You get twice the speed but only pay for one mobo, OS, hard drive, etc. I'm looking at getting a couple Boxx nodes with dual Opteron 270 processors.

they tested both AMD optron and new dual core xeon 64 bit ..

 

for overall perfomance dual core optron gets more point...

 

but when it comes to threded application ,like 3dmax .. xeon stands top..
